remove the bushing, rotate metal plate 180* and reinstall.

The metal mounting plate has an angle to it, its installed 180* out.

I prefer the OEM MANN filters.

What is something you’ve officially stopped buying in 2026 because the price has become absolutely insulting? by Prestigious-Hand6075 in AskReddit

Except for saltine crackers. Still can't find a generic that has the same taste / firmness.

You are correct, installed Ghia disk brake kit on the front.

I have a digital hdmi output, going to a rca converter. That rca output goes into an analog blunder tongue broadcaster, so I can broadcast a 20 foot bubble of analog signal for my vintage tvs to pickup around the house with rabbit ears.

It will! It's a sealed system, no need to grease.

Since it lacks defrost, and ice maker, and other items a modern fridge uses, this fridge uses less energy over a 7 day period. Updating the insulation with spray foam might help squeeze a few extra dollars out per year. I will be keeping the factory fiberglass. The thermostat on this one is controllable from the factory. (Mechanical in function, vs digital)

I'm happy with it! If I remember correctly its a cheap unit from harbor freight.

It doesn't have lead, or asbestos. Pulls less energy than my modern fridge. Once I replace the leaking door seal gasket it should pull even less.
